Need help weaning off Norco 10-325MG?

I have been taking the highest does of Norco for 5 years. I get 120 a month and am directed to take 4 a day as needed. I have 2 budging disks in my neck and I do need help with the pain, but have been abusing my Norco for at least 3 years now, by starting my day with at least 2 pills in the morning before work. (sometimes more) I understand that everyone has different physical reactions to Rx medicationsbut am asking for as much feedback as possible about how I can wean myself off Norco and what kind of side effects I can expect to have?

It takes determination, but it can be done. If you reduce weekly your usual daily dose by one pill, you will avoid most of the withdrawals. Once you get back to the prescribed amount you can reduce weekly by half a pill before finally stopping. You may experience some insomnia, body aches, diarrhea, but should be mild if you stick to the above plan.
